I'll spare you the details, but yes, there sure is another side of the story. The word Cobra was a real bad thing for me for a long time, but my curiosity, and passion for the car got the better of me. I'm sure there's been some growth in the industry, and it's good to see that some of my predictions were correct.

The Arntz/Butler was really never intended to be the best handling car out there, nor was it supposed to be a perfect replica. It was intended to be a car that could be driven 100K miles. A solid, every day dependable sporty transportation vehicle. That's where it truely shines. There was an Arntz typeIV that was actually submitted to Ford for mass production, which passed all DOT crash requirements for the time. I saw it. One hell of a car. Had a trailer hitch on it. Pulled a Sanger (I think) flat bottom.
